This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the

prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you:

personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

the  king  touching  a  bill  lately  exhibited  to  the  king  by  his  uncle 
Humphrey,  duke  of  Gloucester,  and  the  circumstances  of  the  same  debt, 
the  king  considers  that  if  his  uncle  has  the  benefit  of  letters  patent 
concerning  5,000  marks,  which  he  had  of  him,  dated  28  November,  in  the 
tenth  year,  from  24  May,  in  the  eleventh  year,  at  which  time  a  restriction 
was  made  by  letters  patent  of  grants  during  pleasure  which  he  had 
enjoyed,  the  king  would  owe  him  7,785Z.  10s.  6jrf.  and  if  his  uncle  had 
given  up  the  benefit  from  the  said  date  until  now  and  had  taken  from  the 
king  for  the  same,  1,000Z.  yearly,  by  virtue  of  letters  of  privy  seal  for 
attendances  at  the  council,  then  he  would  owe  the  king  1,271Z.  10s.  \0\d, ; 
the  king  in  consideration  of  his  kinship,  has  pardoned  the  duke  for  ever 
the  said  sum.  By  p.s.  [3657.]

and  the  people  of  France,  the  lands  and  possessions  of  the  said  late  abbot 
in  England  were  taken  into  the  king's  hands,  and  when  the  said  Geoffrey 
subsequently  died,  Edward  III  recovered  the  presentation  to  the  church 
of  Ipplepenne  before  the  justices  of  the  Bench,  and  a  writ  was  addressed 
to  the  bishop  of  Exeter  to  disregard  the  abbot's  claim  and  admit  on  the

July  8.  A  petition  has  been  received  from  the  abbot  and  convent  of  Melsa  in 

Westminster.  Holdernesse,  of  the  foundation  of  William,  late  earl  of  Albermarle, 
ancestor  of  Avelina,  late  the  lady  of  Holdernesse  and  patroness  of  the 
said  abbey,  on  whose  death  without  heirs  in  the  time  of  Edward  I  the 
lordship  of  Holdernesse  and  the  patronage  of  the  said  abbey  escheated  to 
the  crown,  shewing  that  since  that  escheat  the  abbey  has  been  charged 
by  the  king's  progenitors  as  follows : — to  wit,  Edward  I  sent  to  the  abbey 
a  certain  idiot  named  Robert  Fole,  who  dwelt  there  all  his  life  without 
letters  patent  or  grant  of  the  abbot  and  convent ;  and  after  him,  one 
Lucet  de  Gaynesburgh  was  received  at  the  request  of  Edward  III  on  a 
letter  missive,  and  had,  by  grant  of  the  then  abbot  and  convent,  four 
quarters  of  wheat,  four  quarters  of  barley,  and  one  mark  of  silver  a  year  ; 
then  in  6  Richard  II  the  abbot  and  convent  were  commanded  to  grant 
such  corrody  to  William  Wyncelowe,  yeoman  of  his  chamber,  such 
as  the  said  Lucet  had,  whereupon  he  was  granted  a  yearly  pension  of 
5  marks,  but  the  petitioners  have  no  record  of  the  terms  of  such  grant ; 
afterwards  Henry  IV  commanded  the  like  sustenance  for  John  Clerk, 
formerly  clerk  of  the  crown  in  chancery,  and  after  divers  writs  and  much 
trouble,  he  agreed  with  the  abbot  and  convent  for  an  annuity  of  6  marks, 
given  him  out  of  friendship  and  for  his  service  to  the  said  abbey.  After  his 
death  in  3  Henry  V  a  writ  was  issued  for  John  Burwell,  clerk  of  the  king's 
chapel,  to  have  a  like  corrody,  and  to  avoid  the  king's  wrath  and 
in  obedience  to  his  verbal  command,  an  annuity  of  5  marks  was  granted  to 
the  said  John  Burwell,  to  have  his  aid  and  council ;  notwithstanding  that 
the  house  is  not  of  royal  foundation  nor  has  any  corrody  in  it  granted  at 
the  command  or  request  of  the  said  Avelina,  or  her  ancestors,  or  at  those 
of  any  king  except  as  abovesaid,  and  that  in  a  statute  of  Edward  III  the 
king  promised  for  himself  and  his  heirs  not  to  ask  for  corrodies  unless 
he  had  a  right  to  demand  them ;  and  therefore  the  present  king  has 
issued  divers  writs  for  such  corrody  to  be  granted  to  one  John  Hunt,  clerk 
of  the  chapel,  as  the  said  John  Burwell  had  ;  and,  the  petitioners  denying 
thaf  any  corrody  has  ever  been  granted  in  the  sense  intended,  the  king 
commissions  Thomas  Fulthorp,  John  Thwaytes,  John  Portyngton, 
Christopher  Baynton,  Guy  RoclyfF,  Guy  Fairfax  and  the  sheriff  of 
Yorkshire,  to  enquire  upon  oath  of  the  county  of  York,  into  the  facts  of

John  Tylney,  lieutenant  or  commissary  general  of  John,  earl  of 
Huntyngdon,  admiral  of  England,  wrongly  supposing  that  Bertram  aliaa 
Bertold  Qwestenborth,  Adam  Forster,  Henry  Merssh  and  Herman 
Wanwesell  were  sureties  by  bond  for  the  payment  of  such  judgement, 
though  they,  and  particularly  the  said  Bertram,  were  nothing  of  the  kind,

side any  jurisdiction  of  the  admiral,  in  the  absence  of  the  said 
Bertram,  who  was  never  legally  summoned  and  whose  absence 
was  therefore  not  contumacious :  and  moreover  notwithstanding

permitted  such  course  to  be  followed  and  utterly  refused  to  restore  such 
goods  to  the  said  Bertram ;  the  king,  on  the  appeal  of  the  said  Bertram, 
now  appoints  W.  bishop  of  Lincoln,  Master  William  Lyndewode,  doctor  of

clerk,  an  account  of  the  canons  in  the  following  matter ;  the  said  dean  or 
warden  having  complained  that,  whereas  the  steward  of  the  college  ought 
to  collect  all  the  revenues  of  the  same  every  year,  and  hand  them  over  to 
the  treasurer,  who  must  answer  for  them  and  pay  without  favour  to  the 
warden  and  canons,  vicars,  clerks,  knights,  and  ministers  of  the  college 
their  respective  portions;    and   whereas  the  possessions  of  the  college

the  college  and  the   injunctions  given  by  John,  archbishop  of  York,

their  own  profit,  without  paying  the  portions  due  by  the  account  of  the 
college,  leasing  the  churches,   manors  and  possessions  of  the  college 
without  security  to  insolvent  persons,  entering  upon  pleas  without  the 
assent  of  the  dean  and  chapter,  taking  allowance  for  unreasonable  amounts 
as  expended  on  alleged  repairs,  while  other  necessary  and  timely  repairs 
were  neglected,  and  making  payments  to  themselves  out  of  the  revenues 
of  the  priory  of  Okebourne,  lately  granted  to  the  college,  out  of  the  arrears 
of  the  daily  distributions  which  were  suffered  to  lapse  for  some  years 
before  the  said  priory  was  granted  to  the  college,  although  such  ought  to 
have  gone  to  the  distributions  of  the  canons  newly  appointed  there.

The  like  to  the  dean  and  chapter. 

By  a  |)etition  presented  by  brother  John,  monk  of  Conches  in  Normandy 
and  the  king's  liegeman,  it  seems  that  the  abbot  and  convent  of  Conches 
have  had  the  priory  of  Wotton  Wawen,  in  the  diocese  of  Worcester,  of  the 
foundation  of  the  countess  of  Staiford  and  her  ancestors,  and  that  Henry  III 
by  letters  patent  confirmed  it  in  its  possessions,  which  were  enjoyed  by 
successive  priors  presented  by  the  said  abbot  and  convent,  instituted  and 
inducted,  as  in  the  registers  of  the  bishopric  of  Worcester  appears,  and  in 
the  time  of  Edward  III  John  Maubert  was  presented,  admitted,  instituted 
and  inducted,  when  the  said  king,  on  account  of  his  war  with  France,  took 
possession  of  the  advowson  of  alien  priories  in  England.     Then  by  letters 
patent,  dated  4  July,  1  Henry  IV,  such  advowsons  were  restored,  and 
after  the  death  of   the  said  John   Maubert,   John   Soverein,  a   monk, 
presented  by  Michael  Aufrye  and  Ralph  Mai  Hoke,  proctors  of  the  said 
abbot  and  convent,  was  duly  inducted  and  as  prior  took  the  profits  of  the 
priory  till  his  death  on  the  morrow  of  Easter  in  the  king's  fifteenth  year : 
whereby  the  priory  is  now  void  and  the  presentation  to  it  belongs  to  the 
king  by  virtue  of  statutes  made  in  the  time  of  Henry  V :  nevertheless,  by 
colour  of  certain  letters  patent  of  that  king,  made  upon  information  that 
the  priory    was    not  to  be  filled   by  presentation,   Roland  Lenthale, 
*  chivaler,'  after  the  death  of  the  said  John  Soverein  entered  into  its 
possessions,  and  divine  service  ceased  to  be  celebrated  there  contrary  to 
the  pious  intention  of  the  founders.     The  king,  therefore,  now  presents 
the  petitioner,  with  the  object  of  reviving  the  said  church  and  the  service 
there  and   the  prayers  for  his  good  estate   and   for  the  souls  of  his 
progenitors,  heirs  and  successors ;  and  should  the  said  Roland  desire  to 
urge  anything  on  his  own  behalf,  the  chancellor  of  England  shall  hear

themselves  the  charge  of  executorship,  but  the  bishop  of  Coventry  and 
Lichfield,  the  earl  of  Warwick  and  James  de  Audeley  have  been  afraid  to

It  has  been  shown  to  the  king  by  Roger  Elyot  late  of  Horsham, 
CO.  Sussex,  *  chapman,*  that  he  was  indicted  of  having  on  4  July, 
7  Henry  VI,  anned  with  sword  and  dagger,  broken  the  close  and  house 
of  John  Dawtre  at  Horsham,  assaulted  and  ravished  Pemell  his  wife

worth  6».  8^.,  a  silver  girdle  worth  20«.,  and  three  gowns  worth  40*. 
On  which  indictment  he  pleaded  not  guilty  before  the  justices  of  the 
King's  Bench,  and  though  he  might  have  had  exceptions  and  challenges 
yet  he  forebore  to  challenge  through  his  trust  in  one  Stephen  Sloghterforth 
of  Warnham,  one  of  the  twelve  empanelled  to  pass  the  verdict ;  the 
said  Stephen,  after  coming  to  him  and  saying  that  he  need  not  distrust 
(dubitaret)  him  nor  in  any  way  refuse  any  of  the  said  twelve,  giving  a 
deceitful  verdict  against  the  accused  in  the  name  of  himself  and  his  fellow 
jurymen,  so  that  the  said  Roger  was  adjudged  to  die.  And  the  same  Roger 
was  also  indicted  of  having  on  1  November,  18  Henry  VI,  armed  with  a 
dagger  and  knives,  broken  by  night  the  close  and  house  of  Hugh  Halsham,

and  that  execution  of  the  said  judgment  has  been  stayed  for  divers  reasons,

MEMBRANE   24. 

On  the  petition  of  Henry  Chichele,  archbishop  of  Canterbury,  the  king's 
godfather,  from  whom  the  king  received  Holy  Baptism,  who  desires  an 
increase  of  the  clergy  of  England,  who  are  deficient,  the  king,  in  honour 
of  Jesus  Christ,  the  Virgin  and  all  the  Saints,  founds  a  certain  college  of 
a  warden  and  twenty  scholars  to  abide  in  the  town  and  UniTersity  of 
Oxford,  to  study  and  pray  for  the  good  estate  of  the  king  and  his  said 
godfather,  while  alive,  and  for  their  souls  after  death,  and  for  the  souls 
of  the  king's  father  and  of  Thomas  late  duke  of  Clarence,  the  dukes,  earls, 
barons,  knights,  esquires  and  subjects  of  the  kmg's  father  and  of  the

faithful  departed.  The  site  of  the  said  college  to  be  the  messuage  called 
*  Berford  halle,'  formerly  'Charletons  Yn,*  six  shops  and  a  vacant  plot  of 
land  adjoining  in  Oxford,  at  the  corner  opposite  the  east  end  of  the 
church  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin,  in  the  streets  called  'Oatstrete'  and 
*Seint  Maryestrete/  172  feet  long  and  160  feet  wide,  which  site,  by 
command  of  the  said  archbishop,  was  recently  granted  to  the  king 
by  Thomas  Chichele,  archdeacon  of  Canterbury,  Henry  Penwortham, 
clerk,  and  Robert  Davners,  feoffees,  to  the  use  of  the  said  archbishop, 
who,  with  his  successors  in  the  archbishopric,  is  designated  as  second 
founder  of  the  college,  on  account  of  the  great  costs  which  he  has  laid 
out  and  proposes  to  lay  out  on  the  same.  As  warden  the  king  nominates 
Richard  Andrewe,  clerk,  and  as  scholars,  Thomas  Lavenham,  Robert 
Stephenes,  Robert  Seborgh,  William  Overton,  Thomas  Eston,  Richard 
Warde  and  Richard  Penwortham,  chosen  by  the  said  archbishop,  to  be 
ruled,  corrected,  deprived  and  removed,  according  to  the  statutes  to 
be  made  by  the  said  archbishop  and  his  successors.  The  king  also  grants 
that  the  warden  and  his  successors,  in  accordance  with  the  said  statutes, 
may  choose  and  admit  more  scholars  to  the  number  of  forty  persons;  that, 
on  the  death  or  removal  of  a  warden,  the  scholars  may  elect  a  successor 
without  suing  for  the  royal  licence,  to  be  admitted  and  confirmed  by  the 
archbishop  of  Canterbury  and  not  by  the  king;  on  the  removal  of  a 
scholar,  by  death,  departure  or  deprivation,  the  warden  may  in  like 
manner  freely  choose  and  admit  the  successor.  The  warden  and  scholars 
are  to  be  called  the  warden  and  college  of  the  souls  of  all  the  faithful 
departed,  Oxford,  and,  under  such  style,  they  shall  be  capable  of 
purchasing  lands,  rents,  services,  advowsons  and  possessions,  temporal  and 
spiritual,  jBven  though  such  be  held  immediately  of  the  king  by  knight 
service ;  they  shall  have  a  common  seal,  and  be  capable  of  pleading  and 
being  impleaded.  And  further  the  king  grants  to  them  the  said  site  in 
frank  almoin,  and  gives  licence  to  the  said  archbishop,  with  the  consent 
of  the  prior  and  chapter  of  Christchurch,  Canterbury,  to  grant  them  the 
advowson  of  the  parish  church  of  Trenge,  in  the  diocese  of  Lincoln,  in 
his  gift  as  archbishop,  and  for  them  to  receive  the  same  and  appropriate 
the  church,  and  generally  to  purchase  in  mortmain  lands,  whether  held 
in  chief  or  not,  to  the  yearly  value  of  dOOZ.  The  king  releases  to  them 
also  any  corrodies  or  pensions  which  as  founder  he  might  demand  from 
them,  and  finally  grants  to  them  the  profits  of  their  possessions  during 
voidances  of  the  wardenship.  By  p.8.

Whereas  by  petition  of  the  prior  and  convent  of  St.  Oswald's,    Nostell, 
in  the  diocese  of  York,  of  the  king's  patronage  by  reason  of  the  duchy  of 
Lancaster,  the  king  has  learned  that  they  recently  had  to  pay    2,800 
marks,  viz.  1,700  marks  to  settle  an  action  brought  against  them  on  behalf 
of  the  church  of  St.  Sixtus,  Rome,  and  600  marks  to  Robert  Waterton  for 
certain  goods  of  his  in  a  chest  deposited  with  them  for  safe  keepings  and 
afterwards  stolen,  and  that  the  church  of  Bambourgh,  appropriated  to 
them,  being  the  main  part  of  their  livelihood,  has  decreased  in  yearly  value 
owing  to  the  war  from  500  marks  to  barely  100  ;   and  further  that   their 
priory  church  was  lately  in  such  danger  of  collapsing  that  they  had  to  pull 
down  the  roof  and  the  upper  part,  and  now  have  to  build  them  afresh  ; 
and  that  about  three  miles  from  the  priory  in  the  town  of  Pontefract 
there  is  a  hospital,  called  the  hospital  of  St.  Nicholas  in  Pounfreit,  in 
the  patronage  of  the  king  as  duke  of  Lancaster,  which  for  many  years  has 
been  ruled  by  secular  masters  or  wardens,  some  of  whom  hardly  ever  went 
there,  that  its  possessions  are  close  to  and  round  about  the  priory,  and  that 
it  could  be  well  managed  by  the  prior : — the  king  by  letters  patent  under 
the  seal  of  the  duchy  of  Lancaster,  dated  81  January  in  his  sixteenth  year, 
granted  to  the  petitioners  the  advowson  of  the  said  hospital,  and  the  hospital 
itself  with  its  possessions  on  the  death  or  resignation  of  WilUam  Bothe, 
the  present  master  or  warden,  with  leave  to  appropriate  the  same  in 
mortmain ;  provided  always  that  the  king  should  receive  in  recompense 
within  a  year  from  the  said  petitioners  revenues  to  the  yearly  value  of  20 
marks  to  be  given  to  the  duchy ;  and  such  recompense  and  more  having 
now  been  made  in  land  in  the  county  of  York  conveyed  by  the  petitioners, 
William  Scargyll  the  elder,  esquire,  Thomas  Wombewell,  esquire,  William 
Swyllyngton,    esquire,   William  Halyday,   John   Flynt,   Henry  Lascy,

seven  years  the  twoEeparate  farms  of  40  marks  and  17  marks  respectively,

and  Amice,  his  wife ;  the  present  grantee  to  keep  up  divine  service  and 
the  acoustomod  works  of  piety.  By  p.s. 

Whereas  under  date  of  8  July,  15  Henry  VI,  letters  of  commission  were 
issued  to  the  lord  of  Bardolf  by  the  name  of  William  Phelipp,  the  king*s 
chamberlain,  reciting  the  substance  of  the  petition  of  John  Merston, 
esquire,  treasurer  of  the  king's  chamber  and  keeper  of  the  jewels,  whereby 
it  appeared  that  the  petitioner  had  had  that  office  from  4  March  in  the 
king's  second  year,  that  his  predecessors  in  the  time  of  Henry  V  had 
rendered  their  accounts  to  the  king  in  person  and  had  been  thereby  dis- 
charged, but,  although  he  had  rendered  his  accounts  in  like  manner  to 
those  who  bore  rule  about  the  king's  person  in  the  time  of  his  tender  age, 
as  appeared  by  the  accounts  themselves  imder  the  signets  and  signs 
manual  of  the  earl  of  Warwick  and  the  lord  of  Bourgchier,  the  king's  late 
chamberlain,  until  9  March,  14  Henry  VI,  such  accounts  did  not  suffice  to 
discharge  him  as  against  the  king:  and  the  commission  accordingly  gave  the 
said  lonl  of  Bardolf  full  power  to  hear  and  determine  petitioner's  accounts 
from  the  said  4  March  until!  July  last,  to  take  his  oath  or  that  of  his  deputy 
in  that  behalf,  and  to  allow  him  all  things  contained  in  his  parcels,  and  his 
fees  and  wages,  like  other  esquires  in  the  said  office ;  also  to  hear  and 
determine  his  accounts  of  jewels  received  and  delivered,  and  to  allow  for 
those  lately  handed  as  security  to  the  cardinal  and  for  those  restored  out 
of  the  treasury,  on  the  certificate  of  the  treasurer  of  England  under  the 
seal  of  the  Receipt  of  the  Exchequer ;  and  whereas  it  appears  that  by 
virtue  of  this  commission  the  said  John  Merston  has  duly  accounted  to 
the  said  lord  of  Bardolf,  the  king's  chamberlain,  and  to  his  deputy,  John

Sheen  Manor,  of  St.  Zachary,  London,  and  other  credible  persons,  it  appears  that  the 

grammar  schools  which  used  to  be  flourishing  and  numerous  have 
decayed  for  want  of  masters  and  that  the  faculty  of  grammar  is  much 
neglected  both  in  the  universities  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge  and  in  the 
country  generally,  whereby  not  merely  is  the  knowledge  of  sacred 
scripture  and  of  the  Latin  requisite  for  the  pursuit  of  the  law  and  the 
afEiurs  of  the  realm  likely  to  perish  but  also  the  power  of  communicating 
with  foreigners ;  the  king,  desiring  to  reform  this  matter,  grants  licence 
to  the  said  William  to  grant  the  mansion,  called  '  Godeshous '  with  the 
adjacent  gardens,  newly  built  in  Cambridge,  which  is  held  in  burgage,  to 
the  master  and  scholars  of  Clare  Hall,  to  be  inhabited  by  twenty  four 
youthful  scholars  well  gifted  in  the  respects  required  to  carry  out  the 
reform  desired,  and  by  a  fit  chaplain  of  competent  learning,  both  to  pray 
for  the  good  estate  of  the  king  and  of  all  benefactors  of  the  house  while 
alive  and  for  their  souls  after  death  and  for  the  souls  of  the  king's 
progenitors  and  ancestors  and  all  other  benefactors,  and  to  educate  the 
said  scholars  up  to  the  degree  of  master  in  grammar  and  the  taking 
of  priests'  orders  and  then  to  despatch  them  to  the  schools  which  have 
become  deserted,  under  the  rule  of  the  said  master  and  scholars  and 
their  successors,  according  to  the  rules,  statutes  and  agrceuicuts  to  be 
made  between  the  said  William  or  his  executors  or  deputies  and  the  said 
master  and  scholars ;  any  chaplain  or  scholar  in  future  to  be  chosen  or 
received  in  the  room  of  any  of  the  present  number  who  may  die  or  be 
promoted  or  removed  to  be  allowed  to  dwell  in  the  said  mansion.    Licence

By  p.s. 

Whereas  by  an  inquisition  taken  at  Sydyngboume,  co.  Kent,  on  19 
February,  16  Henry  VI,  before  Thomas  Broun,  esquire,  Robert  Rodes, 
Thomas  Burgeys  and  Richard  Waller,  formerly  sheriff  of  Kent,  it  was 
found  that  John  Stokker,  Stoker  or  Stocer,  of  London,  merchant  or 
'draper,'  shipped  80  woollen  cloths  worth  lOOZ.,  uncustomed  and  uncocketed, 
at  Queneburgh  in  the  isle  of  Shepey  on  board  a  ship  of  which  Walter 
Fryse  was  then  master,  on  20  July,  16  Henry  VI,  the  vessel  sailing  for 
parts  beyond  sea  on  24  July ;  but  he  has  complained  to  the  king  showing 
that  he  was  never  guilty  of  any  such  act,  the  said  verdict  having  been 
found  in  the  county  of  Kent,  where  he  never  stayed,  and  with  whose 
inhabitants  he  has  no  acquaintance,  by  certain  of  bis  enemies,  who  are 
likely  to  do  him  further  injury  unless  he  has  the  king's  aid  ;  the  king, 
by  advice  of  the  council  and  for  a  fine,  has  pardoned  him  all  offences 
before  81  July  last.  By  p.s. 

On  the  petition  of  Richard  Bedford,  one  of  the  auditors  of  the 
Exchequer,  the  king  has  learned  that  he  and  Nicholas  Brethnam  of 
Norwich,  ^mercer,'  mainprised,  each  in  a  penalty  of  lOOZ.,  for  John 
Harpesford,  customer  and  collector  of  the  due  of  S<L  on  the  weight  of 
each  sack  oif  wool  or  woolfells  exported  from  Calais,  to  account  therefor 
at  the  Exchequer ;  but  that  for  certain  reasons  the  said  Harpesford  was 
compelled  by  Richard  Bokeland,  late  treasurer  of  Calais,  to  account  to 
him,  as  had  been  usual ;  so  that  the  latter  is  now  charged  in  his  account 
with  the  moneys  received  by  the  said  John  on  the  king's  behalf.  Never- 
theless a  writ  of  scire  f arias  was  issued  out  of  the  Exchequer  to  the 
sheriffs  of  London,  for  the  said  Richard  Bedford  and  Nicholas  to  appear 
and  show  cause  why  they  should  not  pay  the  said  100^,  the  said  Harpesford 
not  having  accounted  at  the  Exchequer ;  in  answer  to  which  writ,  the 
present  petitioner  appeared,  the  said  Nicholas  not  having  been  found,  but 
he  could  not  persuade  the  barons  that  he  ought  not  to  be  charged ;  and, 
therefore,  he  was  charged  and  paid.  The  king,  therefore,  grants  to  the 
said  petitioner  101.  a  year  until  the  said  100/.  be  repaid,  to  wit,  10  marks 
a  year  out  of  the  farm  of  two  parts  of  the  manor  of  Godyngton  in  the 
counties  of  Oxford  and  Buckingham,  and  5  marks  a  year  out  of  the  fee-farm 
of  the  third  part,  currently  charged  in  the  Exchequer  year  by  year  on 
Richard  Dammory  and  his  heirs  and  payable  by  him,  them  or  the  tenants.

on  24  July,  16  Henry  VI,  arrested  in  Queneburgh  harbour  a  certain  ship

woollen  cloth  and  other  goods  of  alien  and  native  merchants  worth  8,000/. 
had  been  loaded  in  her  for  export  without  payment  of  custom  or  subsidy  ; 
and  that  the  said  marshal  enjoined  the  said  Walter,  William  Cotesbroke, 
Robert  Staunton,  John  Harrowe  and  Richard  Bogwyn  of  London, 
merchants,  and  divers  mariners  on  board  to  him  unknown  on  no  account

William,  sailed  out  of  harbour  the  same  day  with  all  the  goods  on  board

May  20,  Commission  to  William,  earl  of  Suffolk,  and  John  Cotesmore,  shewing 
Kempton  that  by  an  inquisition  taken  at  Walyngford  before  them  and  W^illiam 
Marmyon  on  Friday  after  Trinity  Sunday,  16  Henry  VI,  Henry 
son  of  king  John  [rectim  Henry  II] ,  the  king's  progenitor,  by  his  charter 
granted  to  the  burgesses  of  the  town  of  Walyngford  and  their  heirs 
perpetual  quittance  from  landgafol  in  that  town  and  from  scotale, 
gereitfnma,  toll,  passage  and  all  customs  throughout  all  his  land,  and 
granted  them  all  his  laws  and  rightful  customs  which  they  had  in  the 
time  of  Henry,  his  ■  grandfather.  And  on  account  of  this  grant  of 
quittance  and  of  the  good  service  which  they  had  done  him,  he  granted 
them  the  town,  to  hold  to  them  and  their  heirs  from  him  [Henry  II]  and 
his  heirs  in  fee  farm  at  the  rent  of  40Z.  assayed  and  weighed  {arsas  et 
jyensatas)  to  him  and  his  heirs  where  they  had  been  wont  to  render  SOI, 
and  a  cloak  worth  100.<t.  Wherefore  he  willed  and  firmly  commanded 
that  his  said  burgesses  should  have  and  hold  the  said  quittance  and  all 
his  laws  and  right  customs  which  they  had  in  the  time  of  king  Henry  his 
grandfather,  well,  in  peace,  freely  and  quietly,  fully,  completely  and 
honourably.  And  he  forbade  anyone  to  vex  them  in  this  matter  or 
disturb  them  on  forfeiture  of  lOL  By  virtue  of  this  grant  the  burgesses 
were  seised  of  the  town  to  them  and  their  heirs  to  hold  at  fee  farm 
from  the  said  Henry  late  king  and  his  heirs,  and  there  were  then  in 
the  town  eleven  parishes,  well  and  sufficiently  built  over  and  peopled, 
with  a  parish  church  in  each,  well  constructed,  served  daily  by  chaplains 
and  clerks  :  and  the  burgesses  of  that  time  by  reason  of  the  said  grant 
received  as  rent  of  assize  from  all  tenants  for  their  lands  in  the  town  14/. 
and  from  the  issues  and  profits  of  two  views  of  frankpledge,  pleas  and 
courts  yearly  10^,  from  the  fines  and  profits  of  divers  gilds  to  have 
their  franchise  and  liberty  in  the  town  yearly  71,,  and  from  the  fines  of 
divers  persons  under  covenant  (pactionariorum)  buying  and  selling  in  the 
said  town  with  the  toll  in  the  fairs  and  markets  there  in  average  years 
102.  towards  the  said  fee  farm,  but  they  took  no  other  profits  by  virtue  of 
the  said  grant.  Afterwards,  however,  the  town  so  decreased  by  whole 
parishes  with  the  houses,  buildings  and  dwellers  in  the  same,  that  the 
remaining  inhabitants  could  hardly  pay  the  half  of  the  said  yearly  farm, 
whereupon  King  Richard  II  at  the  request  of  the  mayor,  bailiffs,  burgesses 
and  commonalty  of  the  time,  by  letters  patent,  dated  14  June  in  his 
nineteenth  year,  granted  to  them  exemption  for  20  years  from  one  half  of 
their  farm  of  421.  a  year,  and  the  present  king's  father  on  1 9  November 
in  his  fourth  year,  at  the  expiry  of  the  said  term,  extended  the  said 
exemption  for  another  20  years,  which  second  term  expired  on  19 
November  preceding  the  date  of  the  said  inquisition.  But  now  many 
more  burgesses  and  inhabitants  through  great  charges  falling  on  them

by  misfortune,  have  left  the  town  and  others  have  perished  in 
plagues  and  epidemics  or  have  gone  away  with  their  families,  and 
the  artificers  and  workmen  who  might  take  their  places  fear  to  come 
on  account  of  the  poverty  of  the  town,  so  that  now  there  are  only  four 
parishes  there  inhabited  and  the  same  number  of  churches  maintained, 
the  benefices  whereof  are  however  so  poor  that  they  will  have  to  be  left 
unserved  unless  the  king  give  speedy  aid,  there  being  in  the  town  no  more 
than  the  forty -four  hosts  or  householders  (lares  foventen)  whose  named  are 
specified  in  the  inquisition.  Also  the  buildings  have  so  fallen  into  decay 
that  for  the  future  not  more  than  10^.  a  year  can  be  paid  as  farm  without 
the  final  destruction  and  exile  of  the  whole  population.  Wherefore  the 
present  mayor,  burgesses  and  commonalty  have  besought  the  king  to 
discharge  them  from  the  said  farm  of  42Z.  from  19  November,  16 
Henry  VI,  and  to  cause  the  town  with  all  the  privileges,  liberties  and 
franchises,  granted  on  account  of  the  said  farm,  to  be  taken  into  his 
hands ;  saving  to  heirs  and  purchasers  their  inheritance  and  purchases. 
The  king,  therefore,  commissions  the  said  earl  of  Suffolk  and  John 
Cotesmore  to  take  the  town  into  his  hands  on  the  surrender  of  the  present 
mayor,  burgesses  and  commonalty,  to  discharge  them  from  the  said 
farm  of  42Z.  a  year,  and  to  treat  with  them  to  have  the  same  again  at  a 
suitable  farm,  or  failing  that  to  demise  all  the  lands,  tenements,  rents 
and  profits  accruing  to  the  king  through  the  taking  into  his  hands,  to  his 
best  avail,  or  entrust  them  to  some  person  to  administer  and  account 
therefor.  By  p.s.

on  the  morrow  of  Michaelmas,  18  Edward  I,  before  Roger  Lestrange 
(Ed'tranens),  Peter  de  Lenche  and  John  son  of  Nigel,  justices  appointed  to 
hear  and  determine  the  same  pleas,  touching  the  rights  of  the  foresters  of 
Peak.  Touching  the  bailiwick  of  Oampana,  John  Danyel,  Thomas  le 
Archier,  Thomas  son  of  Thomas  Folejaumb,  at  present  within  age  and  in 
the  ward  of  the  king,  who  has  granted  this  wardship  to  Thomas  de 
Gretton,  Nicholas  Folejaumb,  late  in  the  ward  of  Henry  de  Medwe  by  the 
king's  grant,  and  now  of  full  age,  and  Adam  Goumfray  and  their  successors 
were  enfeoffed  in  the  time  of  William  Peverell,  lord  of  the  Peak.  John 
Danyel,  forester  in  fee  of  Campana,  holds  a  bovate  of  land  in  Wonnhull 
for  the  keeping  of  his  bailiwick  by  serjeanty ;  none  of  it  has  been  alienated 
from  the  time  of  the  first  feofiEment,  and  it  is  worth  Ss.  a  year.  It  was 
inquired  of  the  said  John  what  rights  belong  to  his  bailiwick,  and  he  says 
that  he  ought  to  have  '  housbote '  and  '  heybote  *  from  the  king's  wood  to 
repair  his  houses  of  serjeanty  when  necessary  by  view  and  livery  of  the 
chief  bailiff  of  Peek  and  his  foresters  and  verderers,  to  wit,  oak  for  the 
repair  of  his  dwelling-house  and  for  the  repair  of  the  other  houses  of  the 
said  serjeanty,  boulic  and  alder  ;  that  he  ought  to  have  his  pigs  fed  in  the 
said  serjeanty,  quit  of  pannage  in  the  king's  forest  of  Peek,  also  pasture  for 
his  plough  beasts  fed  on  his  land  of  serjeanty  in  the  king's  pasture  when 
that  pasture  is  sold  or  allocated  by  the  bailiff  of  Peek ;  and  that  in  the  time 
of  mast,  when  the  king  has  agistment  in  the  said  bailiwick,  he  and  his 
fellow  foresters  of  the  same  ought  to  have  one  pig  at  their  choice  out  of 
the  pigs  which  the  king  has  from  the  agistment ;  and  that  he  ought  to 
have  a  man  in  his  place  to  keep  the  bailiwick  when  manifest  need  compels 
him  to  leave  the  bailiwick  and  the  neighbourhood,  who,  as  his  attorney, 
shall  swear  before  the  chief  bailiff  and  verderers  of  Peek  faithfully  to  keep 
vert  and  venison  at  his  charges  until  his  return ;  and  that  he  ought  to 
have  a  groom  under  him  when  he  is  in  the  neighbourhood,  at  his  own 
charges,  sworn  as  to  vert  and  venison  before  the  said  bailiff  and  verderers. 
And  it  is  found  by  the  ministers  of  the  forest  and  by  twenty  four  jurymen 
and  by  the  ancient  rolls  that  his  ancestors  had  such  rights  from  the  time 
of  their  feoffment ;  and  it  was  asked  whether  the  said  John  has  encroached 
to  himself  anything  more  not  belonging  to  him. 

Thomas  le  Archer,  forester  in  fee  of  the  same  bailiwick,  holds  four 
bovates  of  land  in  Hokelawe  for  the  keeping  of  his  bailiwick  and  each  of 
them  is  worth  Ss.  a  year,  and  he  claims  all  the  foregoing  as  belonging  to 
his  bailiwick,  as  the  said  John,  and  it  was  asked  whether  he  had 
encroached  anything. 

Nicholas  Folejaumb,  forester  in  fee,  holds  a  bovate  of  land  in  Wonnhull 
for  the  keeping  of  his  bailiwick  worth  ds.  a  year;  nothing  has  been 
alienated  and  he  claims  the  same  privileges.    He  is  only  just  of  age  and

encroacjiments  during  his  guardianship. 

Adam  Ooumfrey  and  Thomas  son  of  Thomas  Folejaumb,  foresters  in 
fee,  hold  one  bovate  of  land  there,  each  of  them  a  half,  sometime  one 
serjeanty,  but  divided  long  ago  by  two  brothers,  so  that  each  remained  as 
it  were  serjeant  for  his  half;  and  this  provision  was  made  on  account  of 
their  value  and  for  the  good  keeping  of  the  forest.  Each  of  them  was 
wont  to  have  the  privileges  of  the  foregoing  and  so  they  claim  them  now. 
And  it  was  asked  if  the  said  Adam  had  made  any  encroachments.  And 
the  said  Thomas  is  still  under  age  and  in  the  ward  of  Thomas  de  Gretton, 
who  had  the  wardship  of  him  for  a  year,  which  Thomas  de  Gretton . 

John  le  Wolfhunt  and  the  said  Thomas  son  of  Thomas  Folejaumb  hold 
a  bovate  of  land,  sometime  one  serjeanty  appointed  for  the  capture  of 
wolves  in  the  forest,  but  divided  in  ancient  times ;  so  that  each  of  them 
holds  half  a  bovate,  to  wit,  the  said  John  by  inheritance,  while  the  other 
half  was  given  by  Hugh  de  Morhawe,  who  once  held  it,  to  his  daughter 
Katharine,  who  sold  it  to  Thomas  Folejaumb. 

It  was  asked  what  rights  belong  to  that  serjeanty  and  they  say  none 
except  land,  and  it  ought  not  to  count  among  the  bailiwicks  of  Gampana, 
but  each  year  in  March  and  September  they  ought  to  go  through  the 
midst  of  the  forest  to  put  traps  for  wolves  where  they  haunt,  because  at 
those  times  the  wolves  cannot  smell  (adorare)  dug  earth  so  well  as  at  other 
times  of  the  year.  Also  they  shall  go  in  the  forest  in  summer  time  about 
the  feast  of  St.  Barnabas  when  the  wolves  have  their  cubs,  to  take  and 
destroy  them,  but  not  at  other  times.  And  then  they  shall  have  a  groom 
with  them  to  carry  their  engines  and  they  shall  be  all  sworn  and  shall 
carry  a  hatchet,  a  gisarme,  and  a  knife  at  the  girdle,  but  no  bow  or  arrows. 
They  shall  have  with  them  one  unlawed  mastiff  trained  for  the  purpose,  at 
their  charges,  but  they  shall  do  nothing  else  in  the  forest. 

William  the  forester  of  Trayok  holds  one  bovate  of  land  for  the  keeping 
of  Trayok,  whereof  nothing  has  been  alienated  and  he  has  nothing 
towards  keeping  his  bailiwick  except  his  land.  [Dtichy  of  Lancaster^

Whereas  by  a  charter  of  Edward  the  Confessor  and  by  charters  of 
others  of  the  king's  progenitors,  kings  of  England,  it  has  been  granted 
that  the  abbot  and  convent  of  the  house  or  abbey  of  St.  Peter,  Westminster, 
should  hold  their  possessions  with  all  their  liberties  and  free  customs, 
including  quittance  from  'utlep,'  which  is  said  to  mean  the  escape  of 
prisoners,  allowed  to  a  former  abbot  and  his  convent  before  certain 
justices  of  one  of  the  king's  progenitors  in  their  eyre  in  Hertfordshire ; 
and  whereas  popes  and  prelates  have  fulminated  sentences  of  the  greater 
excommunication  against  all  who  infringe  the  privileges  of  the  said  house ; 
and  whereas  it  was  found  by  an  inquisition  lately  taken  before  the  king  at 
Westminster,  that  Roger  Caunce  of  Brampton,  co.  Derby,  'gentilman,' 
committed  as  a  clerk  convicted  of  divers  felonies  to  the  keeping  of  the 
present  abbot,  ordinary  of  the  place,  to  be  kept  in  his  prison  at  Westminster, 
afterwards  on  Monday  before  the  Assumption,  8  Henry  VI,  broke  the 
said  prison  and  for  want  of  good  keeping  escaped,  for  which  cause  the 
said  abbot  is  much  troubled ;  the  king,  considering  that  the  bodies  of  the 
most  holv  Confessor  Edward,  of  his  own  illustrious  father,  and  of  others 
of  his  noble  progenitors  are  buried  in  the  monastery,  and  that  he  himself 
was  crowned  and  anointed  there,  and  desiring  to  show  them  special 
favour,  pardons  them  the  escape  of  the  said  Boger  and  all  other  escapes 
up  to  the  present  time.  By  p.s.

which  came  to  the  said  king  by  the  forfeiture  of  Henry  Percy,  knight,  not 
exceeding  10  marks  in  yearly  value.  The  premises  were  granted  in  fee 
to  Roger  de  Thornton,  father  of  the  said  Roger,  by  letters  patent,  dated 
28  July,  6  Henry  IV,  as  a  plot  called  '  Foucherhous,'  with  all  the  lands,

attainted  of  high  treason  in  the  Parliament  held  at  Westminster,  11 
Richard  II,  when  it  was  adjudged  that  he  should  forfeit  all  chattels, 
lordships,  reversions,  liberties,  franchises,  lands,  tenements,  fees  and 
advowsons  which  he  had  on  1  October,  10  Richard  II,  or  afterwards,  and

escheator,  on  28  September,  8  Henry  IV,  it  was  found  that  the  same  Robert 
Tresylyan,  *chivaler,'  was  seised  of  the  said  manor  in  his  demesne  as  of 
fee  at  the  time  of  his  forfeiture  and  died  so  seised  ;  and  after  his  death 
one  John  Cheyndyt  of  Badannan  entered,  and  then  the  manor  was  taken 
into  the  bands  of  Henry  lY,  who  by  letters  patent  granted  two  parts  of  it

late  justices  of  the  Bench,  to  satisfy  Thomas  de  Stretton  of  Notyngham 
of  a  debt  of  14/.  obtained  by  judgment  and  18x.  hi.  damages ;  they  having 
Bttrrendered  to  the  Marshalsea  prison  of  the  King's  Bench,  as  John  Hody, 
the  chief  justice,  has  certified. 

King  Edward  I  by  letters  patent  granted  to  the  then  wardens  of  his 
exchanges  of  London  and  Canterbury,  and  to  the  workmen,  moneyers  and 
other  ministers  pertaining  thereto,  that  while  in  office  they  should  be  quit 
of  tallages  and  of  service  on  juries  etc.  and  that  they  should  stand  to  right 
before  such  wardens  except  in  pleas  touching  freehold  or  the  crown  ;  and 
King  Edward  II,  ratifying  the  above,  granted  that  they  should  be  assessed 
by  their  wardens  to  any  aids,  to  which  they  might  consent  to  contribute, 
the  wardens  to  be  taxed  as  to  such  aids  by  the  barons  of  the  Exchequer. 
And  afterwards  King  Edward  III  confirmed  the  above  on  80  September 
in  his  sixteenth  year,  and  acquitted  them  for  their  time  of  service  of 
any  tallages,  aids,  performances  or  contributions  granted  to  him  up 
to  that  date  by  the  commonalty  of  England,  or  thereafter  to  be  granted. 
But  the  wanlen,  workmen,  moneyers  and  other  such  ministers  now 
complain  that,  although  their  predecessors  in  the  time  of  Edward  III 
were  discharged  by  judgment  of  the  court  of  Exchequer  from  certain 
sums  assessed  on  them,  as  appears  of  record ;  now,  contrary  to  the  above 
grants  and  confirmations,  on  pretence  of  a  certain  grant  made  to  that 
king  by  the  commonalty  of  his  reahn,  the  barons  of  the  Exchequer, 
moved  by  certain  doubts  whether  the  said  grants  suffice  for  the 
discharge  of  the  present  complainants  in  respect  particularly  to  certain 
fifteenths  and  tenths  granted  to  the  present  king  and  to  his 
progenitors  by  the  commonalty  of  England,  are  endeavouring  to  charge 
the  said  complainants  with  divers  such  contributions;  wherefore  the 
king,  desiring  to  deal  graciously  with  them  and  to  remove  all  doubts 
in  the  matter  and  considering  their  great  labours  in  their  offices  and 
in  order  to  incite  them  to  attend  the  closer  to  their  duties,  has  granted  to 
them  that  they  and  their  successors  shall  for  the  future  be  a  body  cor- 
porate with  perpetual  succession,  capable,  by  the  name  of  the  Warden 
of  the  Exchanges  of  London  and  Canterbury,  and  the  workmen,  moneyers 
and  other  ministers  pertaining  thereto,  of  purchasing  lands,  rents  and 
possessions  and  of  pleading  and  and  being  impleaded,  under  the  same 
style,  in  all  pleas,  suits,  actions,  plaints  or  demands  in  any  courts  of  the 
king  or  his  heirs,  that  they  shall  have  a  common  seal  for  their  business, 
and  that  none  of  them  while  in  office  shall  be  put  on  any  assizes,  juries, 
inquisitions,  attaints,  grand  assizes  or  recognitions  whatsoever,  against 
his  will,  and  that  they  shall  stand  to  right  before  their  own  wardens  in 
all  pleas  except  pleas  specially  belonging  to  freehold  or  to  the  crown,  and 
that  none  of  them  shall  be  made  mayor,  sheriff,  escheator,  constable, 
bailiff,  collector,  inquisitor,  trier  or  assessor  or  other  officer  or  minister  of 
the  king,  and  that  they  be  hereby  acquitted  from  all  tallages,  aids,  prests,

MEMBRANE   24. 

It  has  been  shown  to  the  king  by  John,  the  abbot,  and  the  convent  of 
St.  Albans,  that  divers  privileges  have  been  granted  to  them  by  charter 
of  the  king's  progenitors,  and  that,  amongst  others.  King  Henry  II 
granted  to  Geoffrey,  sometime  abbot,  and  the  convent  of  St.  Albans,  soc 
and  sac  '  on  stronde  and  streme,  on  wud  and  feld,  tol  and  them,  and  grit- 
bruche,  hamsoche,  murdre,  forestal,  danegeld,  infongenethef  and  utfon- 
genthef,  flemenesremth,  blodewite,  [and]  wrec,'  and  granted  to  them 
besides  that  they  should  have  all  liberties  and  free  customs  which  the 
royal  power  had  or  could  confer  on  any  church,  which  none  should 
infringe  on  pain  of  forfeiture  and  no  one,  French  or  English,  should 
meddle  with  their  lands  or  men  except  them  or  their  ministers,  but 
the  abbot  and  convent  are  hindered  from  enjoying  many  of  their 
liberties,  partly  owing  to  the  general  nature  and  vagueness  or  difficulty 
of  the  words  and  terms  in  the  charters,  partly  owing  to  certain  letters 
patent  of  interpretation  of  Henry  IV,  which  William,  formerly  abbot, 
and  the  then  convent  imprudently  obtained.  They  petition  therefore, 
for  a  new  interpretation  of  the  words  of  the  said  charter,  and  the  king, 
out  of  his  devotion  to  the  protomartyr  of  England  and  in  order  that 
the  petitioners  may  have  more  leisure  and  security  to  attend  to  divine 
service  and  other  pious  works,  and  for  the  avoiding  of  controversy 
interprets  the  said  charter  of  Henry  II,  and  hereby  grants  that  the 
petitioners  by  virtue  of  such  charter  shall  have  for  ever  return  and 
execution  of  all  the  king's  writs,  and  the  goods  and  chattels  of  their  men 
and  tenants,  resident  or  otherwise,  and  of  all  other  residents  on  their  lands

King  Henry  III,  at  the  suit  of  the  weavers  of  London  of  the  mistery  called 
'  WoUenweverscraft,'  by  charter,  which  the  present  king  has  confirmed, 
granted  to  such  weavers  only  a  gild  in  London  with  all  liberties  and 
customs  which  they  had  in  the  time  of  King  Henry  his  grandfather, 
so  that  no  one  unless  through  them  should  intermeddle  in  their  mistery 
in  London,  Suthwerk  or  other  places  belonging  to  London,  if  he  were 
not  of  their  gild,  otherwise  than  used  to  be  done  in  the  time  of  his  said 
grandfather,  they  rendering  2  marks  of  gold  yearly  at  Michaelmas,  and 
none  should  do  them  wrong  on  pain  of  10^.,  that  afterwards,  in  the  time 
of  Edward  I,  the  then  weavers  of  London  of  the  said  mistery  of  '  woollen - 
wevercraft '  alone  caused  certain  liberties  and  articles  touching  their  gild 
and  mistery  aforesaid  to  be  entered  of  record  in  the  king's  court  of  the 
guildhall  of  London  before  the  then  mayor  and  aldermen,  and  afterwards 
claimed  the  said  gild  and  articles  before  Hervey  de  Staunton  and  his 
fellows,  justices  of  Edward  II  in  eyre  at  the  Tower  of  London,  and  sub- 
sequently King  Edward  III  by  letters  patent  granted  to  the  abbot  and

the  weavers  of  London  rendered  yearly  at  the  Exchequer  for  the  farm  of

Nottingham,  supposing  them  to  have  assaulted  and  beaten  John  Hyerd, 
his  servant,  at  Llyntham,  although  no  one  of  the  said  petitioners  ever

Westminster,    the  Assumption  of  St.  Mary  Mountgrace,  co.  York,  exhibited  in  the  last 

Parliament,  it  has  been  shewn  that  the  monastery  was  founded  in 
20  Richard  II  by  Thomas,  sometime  duke  of  Surrey,  who  then  granted 
to  their  predecessors  in  mortmain  the  manor  and  town  of  Bordelby,  of 
the  value  of  10  marks  or  thereabouts,  and  not  long  after  he  had  begun  to 
build  the  monastery  the  duke  died,  for  which  cause  great  part  of  the 
monastery  still  has  to  be  built,  and  the  prior  and  convent  dare  not  go  on

building  because  of  certain  perplexities  and  doubts,  wherefore  they  prayed 
the  king  to  confirm  their  founder's  grant  by  assent  of  the  lords  spiritual 
and  temporal  and  the  commonalty  of  the  realm,  provided  always  that  a 
writ  under  the  great  seal  should  be  directed  to  the  sheriff  to  make 
proclamation  that  any  person  claiming  title  in  the  manor  or  town  should 
appear  before  the  king  and  council  before  Martinmas  and  shew  his  title ; 
to  which  petition  the  king  assented  [llolh  of  Pari,  V,  22,  28] .  And  on 
18  June  last  such  writ  was  issued  and  John  Tempest,  knight,  then 
sheriff,  returned  that  he  had  caused  such  proclamation  to  be  made  at 
York  Castle  on  St.  Laurence  the  Martyr  last  before  Thomas  Fulthorp 
and  John  Marcham,  justices  of  assizes  and  also  at  the  county  [court]  held

held  at  Thersk  on  Thursday  after  the  said  Michaelmas  and  in  other  places,

William  Lyndewode,  keeper  of  the  privy  seal,  remaining  in  the  files  of  his 
office,  more  fully  appears,  but  no  one  has  appeared  before  the  king  and 
council  to  make  any  claim  to  the  said  manor  or  town  except  the  said 
prior.  The  king,  therefore,  by  authority  of  the  Parliament,  confirms  to 
the  prior  and  convent  and  their  successors  the  grant  of  the  manor  and 
town  by  the  founder.     [Monasticon^  vol.  ri,  p,  28.]

of  Londesdale,  Craven  Dent,  Sadbergh  and  other  distant  parts,  wherein

son  of  Richard  Lakyn,  knight,  John  Samford,  William  Wollascot  of

of  Grysford,  and  John  Houghton  of  Elesmere,  chaplain,  and  their  heirs

the  inqaisition,  nor  ever  had  any  title  therein ;  and  beseeching  the  king  to 
annul  the  said  letters  patent  and  to  restore  the  petitioners  to  the  manor : — 
the  king  on  24  May  in  the  sixteenth  year  commanded  the  sheriff  of 
the  county  to  cause  Thomas  Walker  to  appear  before  the  king  in  Chanoery 
in  the  quinzaine  of  Trinity  following  to  show  why  the  said  letters 
patent  should  not  be  annulled  and  the  petitioners  restored,  and  the  sheriff 
summoned  the  said  Thomas  by  Richard  Maffen  and  Roger  Nonelay,  and  he 
appeared  and  said  that  the  grant  to  William  Walford  and  Thomas 
More  had  been  made  by  collusion  between  them  and  the  said  abbot,  as  did 
also  the  said  petitioners,  by  colour  whereof  the  said  record  was  delivered  by 
the  hands  of  John,  bishop  of  Bath  and  Wells,  the  chancellor,  to  the 
justices  of  the  Bench  to  try  the  issue  and  a  writ  was  directed  to  the  sheriff 
of  Salop  to  cause  to  come  before  the  king  in  the  quinzaine  of  Martinmas 
in  the  eighteenth  year  twenty-four  knights  and  legal  men  of  the  vicinage

Wallascot,  John  Walker,  John  Shanbury  and  Thomas  Walker  the  younger 
by  William  Broun,  his  attorney,  and  Thomas  Walker,  but  none  of  the 
twenty-four,  wherefore  the  sheriff  was  directed  to  distrain  on  their  goods 
and  bring  them  before  the  king  within  fifteen  days  from  Hilary  following, 
on  which  day  the  petitioners  and  Thomas  Walker  appeared,  but  on  the 
fourth  day  the  latter  came  not,  wherefore  the  case  went  against  him  by 
default,  and  the  sheriff  was  commanded  to  distrain  on  the  goods  of  the 
jurors  and  bring  them  before  the  king  within  fifteen  days  after  Easter 
following  to  hold  the  assizes  in  the  county,  assigning  Monday  in  St.  Peter's 
Chair  at  Shrewsbury,  the  same  day  being  given  to  the  petitioners ;  and

the  county,  the  petitioners  came  (Thomas  Parkhous  appearing  as  the 
attorney  of  Thomas  Walker  the  younger),  and  the  jury  said  that  John 
Hordeley  never  had  the  manor  nor  granted  it  to  the  petitioners  and  that 
the  manor  was  worth  5  marks  yearly;  and  now  the  petitioners  have 
shewn  that  through  their  suit  they  have  been  reduced  to  poverty  and  that 
the  jury  was  taken  illegally  through  the  default  of  the  said  Thomas 
Walker,  and  yet  they  cannot  institute  a  new  suit,  because  a  decision  valid 
in  law  cannot  be  revoked; — the  king  grants  to  them  and  their  heirs  the
